The Trenton Downtown Development Authority Board has been taking action to formulate its strategic plan resulting in many new projects taking place in Trenton. As of last year, additional funding has been freed up from payments to a twenty plus year sewer bond. The DDA can access funding again that is meant to promote and encourage business in the Trenton Downtown DDA District. This has included various sponsorships of new events in the District, funding for banners and signage, funding for façade grants, funding for flowers, and a means to maintain those flowers with an ATV Gator for City use. This year, the projects are more extensive, including a fresh, re-branding for the City and all departments. The final approval on the graphics is set for the end of the month with the City Council and DDA Board. The City’s municipal parking lot, used for the Farmers Market held Thursdays 2pm-7pm from May-September, will be given a

facelift including new surfacing, landscaping and parking improvements. Simultaneously, work will begin at Rotary Park on Riverside Drive. Along with funding from a local family, the park will receive extensive redesigning including docks, walkways, riverfront shoreline protection, activities area and the public restroom. Mark Angelotti, DDA Chair said, “The group is also exploring the next steps for bringing a National Register nomination to Trenton.” A National Register nomination would make funds available to business owners who would like to register their buildings. A mural festival is planned for this September and plans are underway to coordinate efforts between building owners and artists to bring an unique
and colorful experience to town this fall. With all these initiatives, and plans for continued growth, the DDA along with the City economic development plans have created a need for a new full time DDA Executive Director position and are currently in the process of interviewing candidates.
